The internet is becoming a more broken experience by the week. In my view that is purposeful, ultimately a drive to create the bureaucratic walled garden that those in power wanted it to be from the beginning.

We're Bitcoiners, on the whole I've seen agreement that free speech, freedom to transact, freedom of religion, assembly, association, freedom of the press, of movement, a right to privacy, and freedom from discrimination as championed by pseudonymity, is paramount to the quality of our lives, integral to the advancement of our civilization.

We owe it to those that came before us, those that created the possibilities in our grasp, to fight for a free internet, even if it means to build it anew.

So, good morning, this a message to all Bitcoiners- I'm extremely grateful of the extraordinary efforts I see from you every day, and I can't wait to join you with what modest contributions I can make.

And to my fellow Americans, today I celebrate Independence Day, not in the name of our current administration, but in the name of our people, and the values that gave life to our nation. I will continue to carry that spirit of freedom alongside with you, that bright flame, through whatever darkness this chapter has in store.
